Systems and methods for compensating for acceleration-related sensor mismatch of an autonomous vehicle are provided. A computing system for compensating for autonomous vehicle acceleration-related sensor mismatch can include one or more processors and one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer readable media that collectively store instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the computing system to perform operations. The operations can include obtaining data indicative of an acceleration mismatch between a first portion and a second portion of an autonomous vehicle. The operations can further include determining a sensor compensation action based at least in part on the data indicative of the acceleration mismatch. The operations can further include implementing the sensor compensation action for the autonomous vehicle.

Autonomous vehicle sensor compensation by monitoring acceleration

A system for monitoring a steering angle of a wheel of a steering assembly of a vehicle may include a sensor cap configured to be coupled to a steering knuckle of the steering assembly at an open end of a bore defined by the steering knuckle such that the sensor cap is mounted for rotation with the steering knuckle about a kingpin. In addition, the system may include a kingpin sensor configured to be coupled between the sensor cap and the kingpin. The kingpin sensor may be configured to detect relative rotation between the steering knuckle and the kingpin.
